Evaluation of a trap-and-transport program for a threatened population of steelhead ( Oncorhynchus mykiss )AbstractTrap-and-transport programs for migratory fish attempt to mitigate for lost habitat blocked by impassable dams. These programs aim to assist with conservation and recovery of declining populations by accessing habitat protected from impacts downstream, such as introgression or competition with hatchery-origin fish. This study examined a trap-and-transport program that supplemented a...

The Gender Gap in Globalization and Well-BeingAbstractLately, discontent with globalization has risen. Subjective well-being rather than objective indicators such as income, its distribution or sector of employment may be key to explaining the growth in anti-globalization sentiments. Though there is far from a consensus, some studies present evidence that it is in particular women, who do less well. Drawing on trade and subjective well-being data of approx. 60K individuals and 50 countries, we dissect...

Mādhyamikas Playing Bad Hands: The Case of Customary TruthAbstractThis article looks at the Indian canonical sources for Mādhyamika Buddhist refusals to personally endorse truth claims, even about customary matters. These sources, on a natural reading, seem to suggest that customary truth (saṃvṛtisatya) is only widespread error and that the Buddhist should do little more than duplicate, or acquiesce in, what the common man (or "the world") recognizes (lokaprasiddha) about it. The combination of those...

Adenine decreases hypertrophic effects through interleukin-18 receptorYi-Feng Yang, Yao-Jen LiangChinese Journal of Physiology 2019 62(4):139-147Cardiac hypertrophy is the main cause of heart failure. Levels of circulating interleukin-18 (IL-18) have been reported to increase in congestive heart disease and cardiac hypertrophy. Relationships among IL-18 levels, IL-18 receptor (IL-18R) expression, and cardiac hypertrophy remain unclear. IL-18 can induce cardiac hypertrophy in cardiomyoblasts. We also...

Arbuscular mycorrhiza and plant chromium toleranceAbstractArbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are ubiquitous soil fungi that form symbiotic associations with most terrestrial plants. The growth and functions of AM fungi depend on carbohydrates supplied by the plants, in return, the fungi assist the plants to acquire mineral nutrients (e.g., phosphorus) from soil. The AM symbiosis also improves plant survival in various unfavorable environments, such as metal (loid) contaminated soil. It has been well...
